[Job-offers-cs] Assistant Research Professors at Cornell Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society

[Pekka Orponen]

*Assistant Research Professors and Postdoctoral Fellows*
*Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society*
*Cornell University*

The Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society at Cornell 
University seeks to recruit multiple candidates to be hired as Assistant 
Research Professors or Postdoctoral Fellows; these are 3-year 
non-tenure-track positions that are funded in part by the Center and in 
part by a cooperating unit at Cornell University. The first cohort 
recruited for this program started in academic year 2021-2022.   

This new Center aims to unify programs and curricula in data science 
with an initial emphasis on questions grounded in data that are 
generated by human activity, including computational social science 
(e.g., sociology and government), the economics/computer science 
interface (e.g., the study of voting mechanisms), the aspects of digital 
agriculture in the production and management of agriculture (e.g., 
managing the food supply chain), digital platforms supporting urban 
infrastructure (e.g., the sharing economy), and as a theme that is 
cross-cutting in many of these areas, the corresponding issues of 
privacy, security, and fairness. The areas highlighted are meant to 
serve only as illustrative; */candidates for these Assistant Research 
Professorships are sought/ /from all areas of research that advance the 
state of the art in data science, extending the reach of data-driven 
research into novel application domains/. *

The application should include the following elements.

(1) a CV;
(2) a research statement summarizing accomplishments to date
(3) a plan of proposed research for the duration of the position working 
together with your proposed mentors;
(4) at least two letters of recommendation from faculty who know your 
work well;
(5) letters of support from two Cornell faculty members who are proposed 
as a primary and secondary faculty mentor (which may be received as late 
as January 10, 2025).

One of the positions to be filled will be associated with the Data and 
Democracy Lab. <http://mggg.org/>

The proposed primary and secondary faculty mentor at Cornell can be 
*any* Cornell faculty members who collectively have expertise in a core 
data science domain and an application domain. /Applications for which 
mentors have positions in different Cornell units are particularly 
encouraged. /Faculty mentors can be either on the Ithaca campus or at 
Cornell Tech in New York City; however, appointments for applicants must 
be at least 50% in Ithaca, and will be split between the campuses 
(either 50/50 or 80/20) only if at least one of the mentors is at 
Cornell Tech. Candidates are expected to have completed their Ph.D. 
prior to the start of this position, and to have already done 
substantial research in areas relevant to the Center. *For positions 
that start in Summer or Fall 2025, applications should be completed by 
December 1, 2024 for full consideration, and will continue to be 
reviewed until the positions have been filled. *
